TC000 Hydrogen as an Energy Carrier: High Volume Production Issues I
OverviewOne of the key prerequisites for a viable hydrogen economy is the ability to produce hydrogen economically on a massive scale. This session addresses high volume production of hydrogen as an energy carrier from nuclear, renewable, and nonrenewable resources. R&D papers on established production methods as well as novel nuclear or renewable resource-based methods are welcome.
